Gerda, you are wrong (or as John McLaughlin would say, WRAWNG!) Karl Ridderbusch is not a living person. He died in 1997.HandsomeMrToad(talk)00:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Are you? --Gerda Arendt(talk)06:19, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BLP policy

I need to draw your attention toWikipedia:Biographies of living persons,our policy concerning living people. Your edits toTalk:Karl Ridderbuschviolate that policy, specifically:

"Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons toanyWikipedia page.... Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

I have therefore removed the section you created because it contains contentious material about a living person that is not sourced to anything we would consider reliable. Please take the time to read that policy, and be sure that you understand: (1) that it applies to talk pages just as much as does articles; and (2) that re-adding that material is likely to lead to you losing editing privileges on Wikipedia. --RexxS(talk)00:45, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nome King

Hi. I took an interest in the article on theNome Kingand added additional sources and analysis. I could find, however, relatively few books of literary analysis about him. They largely define him as a symbol of capitalism, tyranny, and slavery.

F13 series

First, there is no policy that states anything of the sort. You are referring to the manual of style, which is a guideline. Secondly, the source request is not about the plot summaries, it's about the dates of the show. There has been plenty of confusion regarding the actual dates of airing for the series, and episodes airing out of order. There are no sources on the page for that. Thus, the tag is accurate and should not be removed until the dates can be reliably sourced.BIGNOLE (Contact me)21:38, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Misspelled or incorrect page names

It can happen, in fact it happens very often and it's frustrating for new users who don't know what to do, and Wikipedia does not offer adequate help or information. That said, such errors are not rectified by recreating the article under its correct name (it was one of the first mistakes I made 10years ago) - that can cause problems with the integrity of the page history which is the record of attribution. To find out what to do please seeWP:MOVE.It's really very easy when you know what to do. Happy editing. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง(talk)22:32, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re How do I report edit-warring?

Hi there. I saw your question on Michael's talk page. A word of advice, edit-warring works two ways, and if you're not careful, reporting your opponent toWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warringcan end up with you blocked as well. It almost happened to me once. I've also weighed in onTalk:Don Giovanniand agree with your view. I'll revert him if he adds it again.Voceditenore(talk)17:39, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grad student suicides

Saw yournote.Hereis your answer, assuming Lam (who had joined Corey's group 10 days earlier) was indeed a suicide; although he's often reported as a suicide, I'm not sure the cause of his death was ever made public (see ref for green quote that follows). Be aware (cf. UNDUE, BLP etc.), despite the prominence of Altom's suicide, it's a problem far beyond any one lab or department: Corey is far from the only professor who had a reputation for being shall-we-say "difficult", and at least five students at Harvard (grad + undergrad) killed themselves in just one academic year:Altom's death marks the fifth suicide within the University community during the 1997-98 academic year, and the second suicide within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS).^[1]And of course not just Harvard.^[2][3]And, counting secondary students, it's just horrific in India: oneevery hour.^[4]regards,Middle 8(t•c|privacy•COI)17:59, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletionnomination ofHans Keirstead

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to readthe guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using theArticle Wizardto help you create articles.

A tag has been placed onHans Keirstead,requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done undersection G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion,because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please readthe guidelines on spamandWikipedia:FAQ/Organizationsfor more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you maycontest the nominationbyvisiting the pageand clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line withWikipedia's policies and guidelines.If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact thedeleting administrator.~Winged Blades^Godric13:41, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kate Trotter

Firstly, it's all very well and good ifFriday the 13this the only role of hers you've seen or care about, but she (a) has had bigger roles in other films that count toward passage of NACTOR's "significant roles" criterion; (b) has Gemini and Dora award nominations under her belt, which are in the tier of awards that constitute an automatic pass of NACTOR's award criterion; and (c) has and cites the sources needed to get her over GNG. Any one of those three would be enough in and of itself; having all three is the equivalent of hitting a home run with all three bases already loaded.Bearcat(talk)03:17, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Links to probable copyright violations

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did toMargaret Price,please ensure that the external site is notviolating the creator's copyright.Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such asYouTubeorSci-Hub,where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violatorswill beblockedfrom editing.

If you believe the linked site isnotviolating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the articleTalk page;
If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the articleTalk pagewith a link to where we can find that note;
If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the articleTalk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. The video you added has anRAIchannel ident, but it is not on an official RAI YouTube channel. You also added the link in a citation inDon Carlos;the rule applies to citation as well as to the external links section.Verbcatcher(talk)13:54, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can't believe...

... thatDove sonohas no article, only a redirect. --Gerda Arendt(talk)13:04, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry! I'll fix that later today.HandsomeMrToad(talk)17:23, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good start. I added further, and it's almost there for DYK, just the line "frequently performed in recitals..." needs a reference, please. --Gerda Arendt(talk)13:37, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done!HandsomeMrToad(talk)17:36, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

February songs

fresh flowers for you, with thanks for your opera work! -My story on 24 Februaryis aboutArtemy Vedel(TFA by Amitchell235), and I made asuggestion for more peace,- what do you think? --Gerda Arendt(talk)17:58, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

today:two women whose birthday we celebrate today, 99 and 90! --Gerda Arendt(talk)11:42, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice! I sang some sacred music by Bortnyanski once upon a time long ago, in a college choir specializing in USSR and the satellite states, but never Vedel.

Tomorrow I am singing Dr. Spinelloccio and the Notary (Amantio) in a concert-performance ofGianni Schicchi,with a whole ensemble of singers who are in a league far above my own. Each of these guys is the real item, abona fiderising opera star, not a perennial dilettante like me. If I can manage to avoid embarrassing myself, I'll try to post a video, or at least an audio, to YouTube.

And later in the month I'm singing Hunding!HandsomeMrToad(talk)05:30, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

And how was performing?--Gerda Arendt(talk)07:51, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gianni Schicchi? It was kind of a disaster for me. Lately I have been having "senior moments" and losing count while on stage, and I missed a number of entrances. I am restricting my repertoire to material I already know very well, and avoiding rapid, bewildering pieces like Schicchi for the time being. Thank you for asking.

Hunding was better.HandsomeMrToad(talk)03:50, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sharing. Gianni Schicchi was my second opera, and I loved it immediately;) - for my latest experiences, seehere--Gerda Arendt(talk)06:41, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's an hilarious opera, and the music is eerily catchy, and it rises to tremendous orgasmic climaxes in several sections. I love the trio the women sing; as our director said, it's a vulgar comedy and suddenly the Rheinmaidens are there.HandsomeMrToad(talk)08:05, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great director;) --Gerda Arendt(talk)08:14, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He's kind of an amazing man. He was very nice to me about the errors and said he was planning to hire me again in spite of them. We have bonded, partly because a close relative of his died of Parkinson's (which I also have) and he likes the idea of using singing as a kind of physical therapy for Parkinson's.HandsomeMrToad(talk)16:51, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
